Worth $480+?

[VOLatile]

I'm looking at going to the Vandy game but the airline tickets from here (MLI) to K-ville (TYS) is $480 round trip. Leaving Friday afternoon and arriving about 7:00PM in Knoxville. That's the only way I can get there without missing a class. Plus there would be the ticket ($40 I think) and then there's transportation and somewhere to sleep.

So, VolNation, I know it's worth it to watch a game at Neyland, but is it worth nearly $600?

YES.

emphatically YES.

See you there brother.

 

[All Vol!]

Well, we're talking about Vandy here...but to answer your question, I'd say it depends on our position at that point in the season.

Unless you have a desire to watch Vandy, I would go for another game. The majority of your investment is going to be in your transportation and lodging. I would go for a bigger game like Georgia or Arkansas ... the ticket will be more, but not compared to your other expenses really....the atmosphere would be much improved I would think.....Georgia is surely to be a special Neyland experience.

$600 for Vandy? I'd say no.

 

[General Jack]

If its the only game you can make, yes. But like TennTradition said, the incremental cost of going to a bigger game won't be that much... if you can do it, go to GA or SC. If not, then Vandy is cool.

 

[eloist]

whatever guys.

I'm from Nashville...born and raised.

ANY win over Vandy is a special, special moment in my book. I hate them so much.

 

[givem6]

yeah but on the other hand vandy is pretty much a win. The other are not. It would suck to be able to pick one game to go see, spend all the money and not get a win.

 

[TennTradition]

as long as it isn't a blowout - the game atmosphere of Georgia would be much better IMO, win or loss
